    Moving some pieces around, so this rare oversized Longines has to go!

    Case: 37mm 3 piece coin edge stainless steel in very good condition with what may be factory finish. Lugs are 18mm with fixed welded lugbars. Caseback is clearly marked.

    Dial: Original condition with paint loss and patina as pictured.

    Movement: 23m in good condition, but running fast. The regulator has some damage as pictured and I have a NOS one included as well a mainspring.

    Hands/Crown/Crystal: Hands are original blued steel. Crown and acrylic crystal are replacements.

    Here is the write up from Longines:

    The original serial number 6'401'458 identifies a wristwatch in stainless steel bearing the reference 4734. It is fitted with a Longines manually wound mechanical movement, caliber 23.M and was invoiced on 23 December 1942 to the company Ostersetzer, which was at that time our agent for Italy.

    Overall a nice original example with a great wrist presence. Why buy a Nomos when you can have the original!

    Asking $1750 Shipped in the CONUS with wire. PM or email watchknut at gmail.com.

    Actually predates the Max Bill Design by about a decade.

    Great piece!
